Akazukin Cha Cha (ABS-CBN)The Little Red Riding Hood-inspired anime. Cha Cha was I think the funniest anime broadcasted by ABS-CBN in the 90 s. All of the characters has their own comedic persona, and you won't get tired watching them again and again. The common debate me and my friends had in this show was: "Who will Cha Cha going to end up with - Riiya or Shiine?"I also have a friend who's very addicted to this, and wellI can't forget her insane laugh when we watched the OAV in our school auditorium when we had an Anime Film Showing in our school foundation day.Ang Mahiwagang Kuwintas (ABS-CBN)Nadia - Secret of Blue Water, its original title, was Gainax's Ghibli-like adventure anime. I remember regretting not being able to watch the last episode of this anime (just like when I missed the last episode of Slayers). This show was a worldwide hit, not only in the Philippines.BT'X / B'tX (ABS-CBN)"Messiah Fist" - the cybernetic gauntlet weapon by the main character - Teppei - and the least character I like. The coolest for me is Fou Lafine, he plays his violin when he attacksthough I don't have any idea where he hides it. On the other hand, I prefer Hokuto's B'T - B'T Max (a turtle mecha) over the rest. It's just so gigantic, almost looks indestructible. About the anime, this was pretty much popular, especially its Tagalog opening song.Cedie, Ang Munting Prinsipe (ABS-CBN)Based on the novel "The Little Lord Fauntleroy", this anime was broadcasted at the same time with Peter Pan and Princess Sarah, around 1992-1993 (I was about 4-5 years old at that time). This World Masterpiece Theatre member was such a hit that ABS-CBN's Star Cinema made a live action version in 1996 starring Tom Taus.Gundam Wing (GMA)The only mecha-anime hit by GMA in the 90 s. Its successor Gundam G didn't come up to the level like Wing did, in short it flopped. About the anime, Wing's pilot and main character - Heero Yuy is a typical-snob guy. Though most of the girls I know like the fact that he's a snob, 'cause they like it everytime he ignores Relena. Moving onthe two characters I like the most were Quatre and Trowa - I mimicked his hairstyle back when I was in 5th grade (I didn't think my classmates would notice it, but they did. Just shows that this Gundam series was really popular.) And the two coolest mobile suits for me were Gundam Deathscythe Hell Custom (Duo's Gundam) and Gundam Nataku (Wufei's Gundam). Obviously, I'm not a fan of the main character, like in B'tX.

Huckleberry Finn (ABS-CBN)This adventure novel-based anime is a remake of the 1976 Huckleberry no Bouken. There's one episode that I couldn't forget, it's when Huck and his father were only eating (hot) sweet potatoes for days. I imagined myself being in that situation, and I realized it's really a huge challenge (OK, now I'm hungry).This anime was broadcasted in 1997, at the same time its somehow related anime - (The) Adventures of Tom Sawyer was released.Let's & Go (GMA)A Sports genre anime about kids (and some adults) and their mini Four-wheel drives. The proof that this show was a hit, was when the competition came to life. Actual toy cars from the anime were sold in stores, and different tournaments were held around the country (even in our school). At first I thought the toys were 100% similar to the anime, like there's some booster or spinning blades on the wheels - but no, what you can see in the anime stays in the anime (except for the thrill, enjoyment, friendshipshould I continue?).Lupin III (GMA)If not the highest, its one of the high-rated anime show broadcasted by GMA. Simply because it's appealing to different kinds of people, young or young at heart. Lupin and his gang's tricks were the climax of each episode. Add it with some fan service by Fujiko and you got a show that can beat soap operas. Oh and Inspector Zenigata's effort is worth crediting, even though Lupin can always find a way to get himself out of his hands.Mga Munting Pangarap ni Romeo (ABS-CBN)Originally known as Romeo no Aoi Sora. Another great World Masterpiece Theatre from ABS. I think the most unforgettable episode for everyone was when Alfredo, Romeo's best friend, died. Another was the turning point of the show, when Romeo and the rest of the "Black Brothers" were proven innocent against their rival "Wolf Pack". And if you've forgotten the endingRomeo and Bianca got married, and had a son name Alfred. Though honestly, I thought it would be Romeo and Angeletta.Mojacko (GMA)One thing I noticed was that GMA never showed the other opening and ending credits of this anime. Anyway, this is a very funny show, and there was one episode where Mojacko and some characters has mumps. I won't forget it cause at the same time, me and our maid were in the same situation. So that day wasvery funny, painful, and awkward.About the other characters, Mojaru and Dono were the ones I found amusing. Everytime Mojaru cried, there'll be like an earthquake. And when Dono has eaten a lot of sweets, he'll go berserk and do unexpected things.

Neon Genesis Evangelion (ABS-CBN)A groundbreaking mecha anime, besides Macross. This anime was the most popular at its era (and I guess the most controversial until now). ABS-CBN cut a lot of scenes, and pronounced the name "Asuka" - "A-su-ka", when it should be just "As-ka". What's great about this anime, was that there were a lot of memorable episodes, even though there's only 26 all in all. The most popular I can think of was when Shinji came to Rei's apartment to give her new ID, his timing was off (but not to other teenage boys) 'cause Rei has just finished taking a bath. Cut the story short, both of them slipped and Shinji was on top of Rei with his left hand on Rei's right breast. Phew~ This was also the first anime where I witnessed a slashy yaoi - it was on episode 24, just before the two unforgettable ending episodes in the history of anime.Pokemon (GMA)The first english opening version of this hit anime was sung by Billy Crawford, a worldwide-known Filipino singer. I'll admit that I'm addicted to this show when I was kid, even memorizing the 150 (151 if you include Togepi) Red and Blue version Pokemons. And joining GMA's promo, I sent like 5 letters each week (and never won). One of my classmates brought his Pokemon guide book, and the Pokemon that got my attention was Charmander (at that time I don't have any idea that he's one of Ash's main pokemon). Another classmate of mine memorized the famous quote of Team Rocket, and he was hailed by most of us.A memorable tagline of the show was "Poke-Friday"! ABS-CBN got its attention, and broadcasted a similar anime called Digimon in the year 2000.Remi (Nobody's Boy) (ABS-CBN)There were actually two Remi's that was broadcasted in the Philippines. First was this one, and the other was Remi: Nobody's Girl. From the two, I chose the original, 'cause I think it was more successful hit than the remake. Actually, the remake was a flop (according to AnimeNewsNetwork) that's why it has only 23 episodes, compared to the original which had 51.About Remi: Nobody's GirlWas pulled off the air after 23 episodes due to disastrous ratings. It was considered the worst of the World Masterpiece Theater due to drastic changes in the story (including changing the gender of the main character.)Ie Naki Ko Remi was the last series of the World Masterpiece Theater.The episode I can remember the most was when a pack of wild wolves attacked Remi and his friends (the animals), and I think some of his dogs saved him, and unfortunately they died.Samurai X (ABS-CBN)Rurouni Kenshin was quite popular in Studio 23 that's why ABS-CBN, it's sister company decided to make a tagalized version. The samurai action and comedy-drama formula was a great combination that's why the show garnered a lot of audience in the 90 s around the world.

Since I will soon be reviewing anime and manga for a popular website, I decided to do a quick post about five older series to introduce to fans of newer anime, or even those who are just looking for an introduction series.I made a point to choose each from a different genre so that comparing them to one another would be difficult.I also made sure that they were at least a decade old.I would have gone for much older series, however I just don't see a newbie watching Galaxy Express 999 without falling asleep, or Ranma 1/2 without feeling very confused.No offense to either of those mentioned.They each have merit in either artistic presentation or pure nostalgia depending on who you ask.However, what I am looking to talk about are accessible series with tangible story lines.I want to talk about relatable protagonists and villains that are recognizable as something more than a throwback from a saturday morning in the 80's.

Hey guys and girls, it's New Years' Eve! And what a way to end 2013 is a certain Index film that expands its universe.

BTW, To Aru Majutsu no Index: Endymion no Kiseki takes place before the Daihasei Festival Arc from the second season, so be mindful of spoilers if you're new to this series. Although, I doubt that will happen!

This Secret Santa post almost didn't happen. I got hit by a nasty funk the week before Christmas. I had to put my 12 Days of Teekyu posts on hold because said funk knocked me out of commission. The very act of watching anime was pretty low on my list of things I wanted to do, since it took far less effort to just turn on the TV and switch it to Boomerang than it did to turn on the computer, find a file, and click on it. I watched a hell of a lot of Secret Squirrel this past week because of that. He does a very good job of being a squirrel, since he has the tail and all, but he isn't very good at being secret. His idea of infiltrating an enemy's base involves smashing in the front door and yelling until the villain appears. He's more like Shouty Squirrel.

But I got better the couple of days before Christmas and finally got around to this Secret Santa thing. Like last year, I got some decent recommendations: Black Jack OVA, Cyber City Oedo 808, and Macross Plus. I'm sure Black Jack is cool and all, but I don't really dig on Tezuka. The only anime of his I've really liked is Don Dracula, so there you go. I'll get around to it eventually, but it wasn't a priority. My initial impulse was to watch Cyber City, since those long-forgotten OVAs from the VHS era are my sort of thing, but I felt obligated to finally see Macross Plus. Shinichi Watanabe's pretty awesome, so long as he isn't doing generic love triangle romantic comedy shit like Kids on the Slope, so I felt I better see his first major anime work to complete the circle.

Macross 30 story takes 50 years after Space War I, which took place in the Macross : Do You Remember Love / SDF Macross and one year after the Vajra War happened in Macross Frontier . Leon Sakaki ( Miyu Irino ) , SMS pilot , had just arrived on the planet Ouroboros to carry out their duties just like arrive at the office SMS Ouroboros branch . Suddenly she is attacked by an unknown person and fell into the planet . There he was saved by Aisha Blanchette ( Marina Inoue ) , which led the young Zentradi SMS office Ouroboros branch .

Due to the space - fold problem known as " Ouroboros Aurora , " Leon can not go home . Therefore, he decided to help Aisha to investigate the ruins that exist on the planet . When are investigating , they both met a girl named Mina Forte ( Haruka Chigusa , winner of the Miss Macross 30 ) . Their adventure to solve the planet's problems began.

The Winter Anime Season Has Arrived. This Pretty Much Means Me Ranking A Ton Of New Anime And Pretty Much Being Dead Wrong By The Time February Rolls Around. Let's Get This Started!

Now, for those of you who don't know how my Compendiums work, it's simple: I only rank all of the new TV anime that's making their debut this Winter. No Sequels (*looks at Silver Spoon and Chuu2Koi2*). No already existing franchises, or I guess long running franchises (*Looks at Saki, Seitokai Yakuindomo*). No Shorts (*looks at Pupipo, Strange +*). And of course, no films or OVAs. It just makes everything easy for me/I get to shine all the new faces in anime. For better or for worse. So, you get how things work? Then I better get started!

Hi everyone! I wanted to talk about something that has been on my mind a lot lately (and I guess in general for a long time) and that's Macross Frontier. First though, a little history lesson. The original SDF Macross was created and released in late 1982 in Japan by Big West and Tatsunoko. This show would eventually find its way to the U.S. in 1985 as the first part of the 3-series Frankenstein that would become Robotech. Robotech for those who don't know, was an American syndicated cartoon, made up of 3 different mecha-animes with similar styles. Harmony Gold, the company that held (and still does hold) the rights to SDF Macross, wanted to air Robotech on weekday syndicated TV, but the minimum number of episodes required at the time to do that was 65, so to make it work, they mashed three shows together, and spun a tenuous common thread between them.

So that's SDF Macross. Since then, the U.S saw several other Macross productions that Harmony Gold had nothing to do with (and I'll get to that in a second), the Macross II and Macross Plus OVAs, neither of which were direct sequels to the original Macross. Harmony Gold did not try and assert its distribution rights over these films for whatever reason, only attempting to block Macross merchandise in 2001. Big West and Tatsunoko took it to court in Japan and it was determined that Harmony Gold would maintain distribution rights to the original SDF Macross in the U.S. but no other subsequent series. A lot of people believe that Harmony Gold is responsible for us not seeing Macross 7, Macross Zero, or most recently Macross Frontier in the US. Not so. Those things all happened probably because of the weakened market for anime in North America, and a weakened economy all around in general. So now we've established my best theory for why we don't have Macross Frontier (Which came out in the beginning of 2008 so I think we'd have seen it by now), and given the whole history of the franchise, why don't I actually tell you what it's about?

Time really flies, doesn't it. For cultural reasons, I'm not meant to be celebrating anything this year, so all I'm able to do is say thank you. Thank you to everyone who has dropped by, and especially those who comment and who keep coming back. It's been a somewhat spotty year for me in that I've slacked off when other things have been on my mind (the recent spate of entries was all about catching up posts that I was supposed to make), and I know that some of my 'reviews' have suffered because of that. But thank you all for reading anyway, and I hope 2013 has given you some good memories too!

It seems to be becoming a trend that the first post of my review is about youthful love (the only exception now being , which was about Macross), but there's nothing I can do about it. Those who've been following the series should have an inkling as to what the title of this post refers to, but if not, spoilers for Chihayafuru 119 follow

When I was starting to get into anime seriously, I encountered people who would discuss creators and studios. This was a big quantum leap for me, having framed anime in terms of "good" or "not good" only. Why are they talking about who made what? Why bother? I thought.

Maybe some of you are asking the same question. Why does it matter? What do we gain from doing so?

Two iconic worlds from classic anime are set to collide this week with the highly anticipated and long awaited release of the ROBOTECH / VOLTRON crossover hitting comic book store shelves. The five-part series from Dynamite Entertainment sees two of the most iconic mecha cartoons from the '80s sharing the spotlight in a epic story written by Tommy Yune.

Allowing these two properties to co-exist in one universe obviously means setting the story outside of their respective canon timelines. First things first: This crossover involves the Lion Force VOLTRON (sorry Vehicle Force) and the MACROSS SAGA of ROBOTECH (MASTERS and NEW GENERATION will have to wait their turns). The cover of Issue One reveals that Roy Fokker is still alive and kicking (with a bit of a Captain Harlock look to him wearing a Skull Squadron eye patch), and has the Black Lion sporting the Robotech Defense Force symbol and armed with Veritech weaponry. A preview of the issue's first few pages also reveals VOLTRON's Galaxy Alliance has characters from ROBOTECH as members.

Basically, this post is going to be a massive, long-winded and winding journey, akin to a mountain road carved painstakingly bit by bit along the edges of a tall mountain, a road that has solid rock wall on one side, multi-hundred meter drops on the other, and where stiff, bitter winds buffet anyone so foolish as to attempt traversing itwhich isn't to say you shouldn't try reading this post, don't let me put you off at all! I am stealthily writing it at work, though, so it may end up being a touch disjointed as I hurriedly close the window whenever I hear my boss's heels clicking toward me in a fashion that brings to mind blue-shift (and red-shift, of course, when she is moving away from me).

Two years ago, I delved into the mecha franchise Macross. This year, I finally got around to doing the same with Gundam.

The primary reason as to why it took me so long to get to familiarizing myself with the franchise is because it was so damn intimidating. With nearly twenty separate series, several timelines, and passionate conflicting opinions from fans, it was difficult as to where I should even start. I also missed Gundam Wing when it aired on Cartoon Network, so I was missing a popular piece of nostalgia that many of my friends have. (Though that's not a problem anymore.)
